Gunmen kill 11, injure 12 on crowded soccer field in Mexico

Mexico City, 26/1: Gunmen opened fire on a crowded soccer field in Mexico on Sunday, killing 11 and injuring 12, in a tragedy that appeared to highlight the persistent violence from the nation’s cartels despite the government’s efforts.

Gunfire hit people who were socializing after a soccer match, according to local officials, capping a particularly violent period in Salamanca, a city of 275,000 in the central state of Guanajuato.
